Growth-stage and venture financings move fast, involve asymmetric information between founders and investors, and often set precedents that later rounds will follow.
Unlike later private equity transactions, venture and growth rounds are rarely controlled transactions; investors take minority stakes and rely on contractual protections rather than outright control. We help clients calibrate those protections so they are meaningful without being so onerous that they compromise the company's ability to raise its next round.
